Week #3 of the 2015 Arkansas high school football playoffs concluded
last Friday night. There were no true
upsets, but teams like Fayetteville avenged regular season losses to advance. The highest scoring team in Playoff Week #3 was Greenwood with
61 points. As the number of teams dwindles, so does the 50 Point Club.
There were just 4 teams that cracked that barrier this week:

Greenwood (61)

Prescott (53)

Pine Bluff (52)

Prairie Grove (50)

Our correct winners are in BLUE while the misses are in RED. We were 15 of 18 (83.3%) for the week. During the playoffs, we are 93 out of 112 (83.0%).

The second week of the 2015 Arkansas high school football playoffs
concluded last Friday. The 7A state title guaranteed to the 7A West again as all 4 semi-finalists hail from that conference. Pulaski Academy led all scoring with 78 points while piling up over 820 yards of total offense. The number of
team reaching that 50 point mark continues to dwindle as we move deeper
into the playoffs. These are the five members of the 50-Point Club for
Week #2 of the playoffs:

Pulaski Academy (78)

Rivercrest (62)

Glen Rose (56)

Episcopal Collegiate (52 - Loss)

Little Rock McClellan (50)

Our correct picks below are in BLUE while our misses are in RED. We correctly picked 28 out of 36 (77.8%) in Week #2 of the playoffs. Over the first two weeks of the playoffs, we are 78 out of 94 (83.0%)

Week #1 of the 2015 Arkansas high school football playoffs wrapped up last Friday night. There were few surprises - most of them in 2A. This supports our notion that the playoffs are 1 round too large. Three teams were left wondering what could have been as Lake Hamilton, Stuttgart, and Marked Tree all went home with 1-point losses. Some balance may have been restored in the 7A as only the top seeds from both Central and Northwest Arkansas advanced. We still look for the state champion to come out of the 7A West top 3 (Har-Ber, Bentonville, or Fayetteville).

The highest scoring team this first week of the playoffs was England
with 71 points. Fayetteville and Episcopal Collegiate showed the ability to light up the scoreboard by going over 60 points. As you might expect as
the playoffs begin, the number of team reaching that 50 point mark was
down. These are the 50-Point Club members for Week #1 of the playoffs:

England (71)

Fayetteville (67)

Episcopal Collegiate (62)

Pulaski Robinson (58)

Hector (56)

Nashville (56)

Pulaski Academy (56)

Lafayette County (55)

Gosnell (54)

Harding Academy (53)

Prescott (53)

Smackover (53)

Little Rock McClellan (52)

Arkadelphia (51)

Lamar (50)

Morrilton (50 - Loss)

Our correct picks below are in BLUE while our misses are in RED. We correctly picked 50 out of 58 (86.2%) in Week #1 of the playoffs.
